A Quilt for Me!

Finally, I have the quilt I made for myself, on my bed. A little over a year ago we bought a kingsize bed so I started making a kingsize quilt. Since it was for me, there was no rush. Time gets away and the next thing you know it's been a year. I gave myself a kick in the pants, and finished it up.

Sylvia had made a similar quilt a while back. I fell in love with the pattern and had to use it for a quilt for myself. The pillow shams were a little outside my comfort range, but I persevered and now I love the effect. A special thanks to Noeline who gave my a bali pop and fat quarter pack of beautiful batiks that were the starting point for this quilt.

And of course I can't let a week go by without posting a picture of this weeks Hexagon.

I had previously made this hexagon from a pattern I drafted myself. When Katja included it as this weeks block, I just had to make another.

I hope everyone has a great weekend, and my fellow Canadians, enjoy the extra long weekend. Stay safe and have fun!
